Petite Feet by Interweave Staff

This is actually several sock knitting patterns in one. Determine the finished size of your sock and the gauge (based on your yarn and needles); then follow the instructions using the correct numbers from each table. You can use the basic pattern to work a plain sock with a ribbed cuff or integrate the directions with the five different “recipes.”

Pattern #2

Create a beautiful colorwork sweater using just two colors of yarn: a solid and a self-striping yarn. The self-striping yarn does the work for you in Judith Durant’s Child’s Faux Isle. You’ll get the look of a complex Fair Isle cardigan, but it’s really Faux Isle. What a great addition to this collection of free children’s knitting patterns!

Pattern #3

Vertical Vest by Jennifer Teigs

The Vertical Vest is knit in the round with worsted-weight yarn. The vertical lines on the front of the vest are worked with chain-stitch embroidery after the body is finished. Let your child choose the colors he or she wants, and you can have this project finished in a weekend.

Pattern #4

Counting Crows by Mary Scott Huff

Inspired by a children’s nursery rhyme, Counting Crows’ perfect mix of numbers and crows is so perfect for a children’s knitting pattern. The black and red color combo is wonderful, but you can easily change it to suit the child you’re knitting for. This sweater will become and heirloom.

Pattern #7

Stop-Traffic Circles by Kristin Nicholas

This colorful sweater is so striking. With the circles on the yoke and the ladder stitch in the body, the sweater has a lot of visual interest, and kids will love wearing it. An interesting detail is that the finished sweater is washed gently in the washing machine to even out any irregularities in the embroidery and to give the sweater a soft semifelted surface.

Pattern #8

To keep her toddler’s hands warm in the winter, Amy knitted cozy mittens with unspun roving and then fulled them slightly for added warmth. She made a pair for herself as well!
